Brief Summary

This study proves that the hygiene education given to pregnant women diagnosed with tract infection by explaining what they have learned increases the duration of genital health, thus ensuring the positive health development of women and protecting and improving their health. At the same time, it is aimed to inform the professional "tell what you have learned" method and to guide the practices of those working in the field of health. The research will be conducted in a randomized control design with a pretest-posttest control group. The population of the research will consist of pregnant women who were followed up in the relevant hospital and who met the inclusion criteria on the dates the research was conducted. The number of samples for the study was determined as 36 participants, 18 in each group. While hygiene training will be given to the intervention group using the tell-what-you-learned method, no training will be given to the control group. Personal Information Form and Genital Hygiene Behavior Scale will be used as data collection tools in the research. Data will be collected at the first encounter, day 7, day 21, and day 30. In evaluating the data, the suitability of the variables to normal distribution will be examined using visual analytical methods. When comparing application results within and between groups, parametric or nonparametric tests will be used depending on whether they show a normal distribution or not, and t test or Mann-Withney U Test will be used to compare the difference between two groups. Wilcoxon test will be used to analyze pre- and post-intervention results within the same group. Statistical significance level will be accepted as p\<0.05. When the literature is examined, there are studies on different health education plans for women diagnosed with urinary tract infection during pregnancy, but since there is no research on the tell-what-you-learned method, it is an original study, and at the same time, the previous knowledge levels of pregnant women diagnosed with UTI were learned and the effect of the education given on their behavior was examined. It is thought that this teaching method will contribute positively to the knowledge level and behavior of women.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• The Scale of Genital Hygiene Behaviors

  It was developed by Karahan (2017) to evaluate genital hygiene behaviors in women. General hygiene habits (top 12 items), menstrual hygiene (13th item on the five-point likert scale).-20. substances) and abnormal finding awareness (21-23. it consists of three sub-dimensions (substances) and a total of 23 substances. The cronbach alpha value of the entire scale is 0.80, and it is stated that the general hygiene sub-dimension is 0.70, the menstrual hygiene sub-dimension is 0.74, and the abnormal finding awareness sub-dimension is 0.81. 7 of the scale., 14., 19., 20., 23. items are scored in reverse. The lowest 23 highest 115 points are taken from the scale and the high scores indicate that genital hygiene behavior is positive (Karahan, 2017).

EXPERIMENTAL

All pregnant women diagnosed with UTI at the maternity outpatient clinic are prescribed antibiotics containing the active substance fosfomycin tromethamol, which is recommended for uncomplicated urinary tract infections of adults. The duration of the antibiotic's effect is seven days (Due date). After completing the treatment process determined according to the physician's request, training and counseling will be provided using the Genital Hygiene Training Guide based on the Tell me what you have learned method. In this context, 4 interviews will be held during the project.

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

Control Group: Research data were collected from pregnant women who were in the control group at the December intervals with the experimental group, as shown in the Flow Chart of the study. After the completion of the study, this group will also be given an education and training booklet.

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: DOUBLE
• Who Masked: PARTICIPANT, OUTCOMES ASSESSOR
• Masking Details: The statistician will be blinded in the research. Researcher blinding cannot be done because he is a practitioner. But the researcher will open the envelope created by the statistician just before the application and find out which group the mother belongs to. In order to prevent bias in the evaluation of the data, groups will be coded as A and B, and the analysis of the data will be carried out by an independent statistical expert. After the analysis and interpretation of the data are completed, the codes of the intervention and control groups of the study will be revealed.
